"What's the matter, Senior Brothers?" Jun Yanzhi asked calmly.

Wen Jing climbed down from Jun Yanzhi and stepped aside awkwardly, not daring to say a word.

Liu Qianmo said, "Junior Brother Jun, get up too. The Sect Master has ordered everyone to gather at the Qingxu Hall."

"What's the matter?" Jun Yanzhi lifted the quilt, and Wen Jing hurriedly helped him out of bed.

He Ling simply said, "Something happened at Tianheng Peak."

Jun Yanzhi couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "What happened?"

Liu Qianmo sighed

and said, "You'll know when you go..." He could tell from the tone that the situation was serious. Several people stopped talking, waited for Jun Yanzhi to put on his clothes, and flew to the Qingxu Hall together under the moonlight.

The moonlight enveloped the Xunyang Mountains like a soft white veil. From a distance, the hall was brightly lit, and voices could be heard, but there was no chaos.

Peng Shao had already brought Mo Shaoyan and others to wait in front of the Qingxu Hall. Li Shu shouted, "Brother, here!"

Liu Qianmo flew to the front of the hall and said, "Let's go!"

Ten people walked into the Qingxu Hall together, and saw disciples from various peaks gathered. Some seemed to have been pulled out of bed in the middle of the night, their clothes were not very neat, and their hair was a little disheveled. They gathered together and talked in a low voice.

"What's going on? Why did you call us in the middle of the night?"

"I don't know..."

"I heard that more than 70 people from Tianheng Peak suddenly lost their minds and were captured by Peak Master Lu in the middle of the night. Fortunately, they were all Qi training disciples with low cultivation levels, so they were not seriously injured.

" "What?!"

"Insane? Like Peak Master Zhao?"

"...You ask me, who should I ask?"

"The leader of Hongxiu Peak just went crazy during the day, and Tianheng Peak suffered a disaster tonight. Was this planned?"

Only the voice of Zhu Jin rang out from the main hall: "Master Xi has ordered Liu Qianmo, He Ling, Jun Yanzhi, and Wen Jing of Huishi Peak to come to the back hall to discuss something. Disciples who have seen suspicious people in Xunyang Mountains recently should report to the back hall immediately. The rest of the disciples should wait in the front hall and not leave."

Liu Qianmo frowned: "What does it have to do with us?"

He Ling said: "I don't know, let's go."

The four of them walked to the back hall together.

The front hall of Qingxu Hall is magnificent and majestic. Although the back hall is smaller, it is also spacious and comfortable. Xi Fang, wearing a dark green Taoist robe, was sitting calmly at the head seat. On his left and right sat a dozen peak masters, some Taoist and some lay. More than 20 disciples were standing by, waiting for instructions.

Standing in front of the dozen peak masters was the disciple who was in charge of the arena when Bai Tianjun Yanzhi and Zhao Ningtian were fighting on the arena.

The four of them came forward to greet him. Liu Qianmo said respectfully, "I wonder what instructions you have for us, Master Xi?"

Xi Fang said calmly, "How is Master Zhao of Hongxiu Peak now? Do you know?"

"We don't know yet."

Zhu Jin quickly added, "Master Zhao Feng has lost his mind and is still fighting and killing in the dungeon. I don't know if he can recover. His symptoms are similar to those of the disciples of Shuiyue Palace in Bafeng Cliff a year ago."

Lu Zhangqing said, "It's a bit strange that he lost his mind on the stage, not too early or too late ."

Xi Fang said, "...That's right. If Master Zhao Feng was hit by 'Soul Falling', he would need the fragrance of 'Three Insect Roots' in Bafeng Cliff to trigger it. Zhu Jin searched the stage but found nothing."

Lu Zhangqing said, "But this disciple on duty said he smelled a strange fragrance on the stage."

The disciple on duty hurriedly said, "Jun After Senior Brother and Master Zhao Feng came up to the stage, I smelled a faint fragrance, but I didn't know where it came from. But I have never smelled the scent of 'Three Worm Roots', and I don't know if that fragrance is from 'Three Worm Roots'. "

Xi Fang stared at Jun Yanzhi with a sharp gaze and said, "You have been to Eight Wind Cliffs, and you have wood spiritual roots, so you have a unique talent for herbs. Did you smell that fragrance? Is it 'Three Worm Roots'?"

Jun Yanzhi's face turned pale, but he said, "To be honest, the fragrance that the attendant disciple mentioned is exactly what I have on my body, but it is not 'Three Worm Roots'." After

speaking, Jun Yanzhi concentrated his mind, and a faint fragrance slowly spread in the back hall.

The disciple in charge hurriedly said, "It is this fragrance."

The cold fragrance hits people and makes them feel refreshed, but it is not the fragrance of the "Three Worm Root"...

but the fragrance inside the body... Although this physique is rare, it is not harmful.

Everyone present looked at each other, then looked down at Jun Yanzhi in the hall, and doubts suddenly arose in their hearts.

The "Three Worm Root" has a fragrance, and this young man's body also emits fragrance at the right time. It seems too coincidental?

Xi Fang said slowly, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Jun Yanzhi shook his head, "No, I know nothing about Peak Master Zhao."

Xi Fang looked at him for a while, and finally said to He Ling and others, "You guys were close at the time, did you see anything?"

Liu Qianmo and others shook their heads, "At the time, I only cared about Junior Brother Jun, and didn't pay attention to anything else." Xi Fang

said slowly, "... In that case, you go down first." After

the four people left, all the Peak Masters looked puzzled, but did not speak. The Peak Master of Xizhu Peak said, "Can you believe what Jun Yanzhi said just now?"

"Peak Master Zhao did it neither too early nor too late, but at that time, it was too coincidental..."

At this time, everyone had a bad idea in their hearts, but no one said it. Xi

Fang asked Lu Changqing, "What do you think?"

Lu Changqing said briefly, "Hide the fragrance of the 'Three Insect Roots' under your own fragrance, so it will be difficult to detect."

This sentence revealed everyone's thoughts.

Shao Jun of Bazhan Peak said, "Peak Master Zhao is insane during the day, and the disciples of Tianheng Peak go crazy at night. This matter is related in any way. Although Peak Master Lu didn't say it, he must be very anxious now, right?" Xi

Fang said, "The insane affairs of Peak Master Zhao and the disciples of Tianheng Peak are a bit strange. If the incident of Peak Master Zhao was caused by Jun Yan, how could he poison the disciples of Tianheng Peak after he was injured? If this matter is not due to 'Falling Soul', it must be done by the devil."

Everyone fell silent, with worried looks on their faces.

Xi Fang continued, "Demons are born from the heart. Taoism and demons are originally from the same source. Those who are possessed by demons are good at confusing the mind, causing people to lose their souls, and eventually abandon their true selves and fall into chaos. This is the greatest evil. If it is really a demon cultivator with profound Taoism, I am afraid it will be a great disaster sent by heaven."

Shao Jun asked, "Could it be that Jun Yanzhi is related to the devil?"

Lu Zhangqing said, "If Jun Yanzhi is related to the devil, it would not be too much to kill him."

Shao Jun smiled and said, "In that case, send him to the dungeon and trap him with the Thousand Seals Formation. His whole body will seem to be shattered. In less than three minutes, he will definitely confess the truth."

The head of Huanghua Peak, Qin Xiao, frowned and said, "This is too cruel. If he has nothing to do with the devil, we are blaming a good man."

Lu Zhangqing raised his voice and said, " At this critical moment for our sect, why should we care about those women's kindness?"

Everyone looked at Xi Fang together: "Please make the decision, Sect Master!"

Xi Fang pondered for a long time, and finally said: "Let's put Jun Yanzhi aside for now. It will be useless to torture him at this moment. We should save people first. I have sent someone to invite Elder Lu from the Ancient Mirror Sect, who will be here soon. We should first rescue Master Zhao and the disciples of Tianheng Peak."

He also instructed Zhu Jin: "Send someone to pay attention to Jun Yanzhi's every move, and don't let him go."

"Yes." Zhu Jin took the order and left.

Xi Fang also ordered: "Each of the Bazhan Peak and Wangyue Peak should send 20 foundation-building disciples and 40 Qi-training disciples to patrol the mountains of Xunyang carefully, and don't let go of any suspicious places."

"Yes."

·

In the Qingxu Hall, everyone was still discussing.

Gui Xinbi said, "I heard that the sect leader sent someone to invite Elder Lu from the Ancient Mirror Sect. I'm afraid Tianheng Peak is in a lot of trouble."

Gu Jinping said, "Elder Lu from the Ancient Mirror Sect?"

Peng Shao said, "He is the only wood-type spiritual root and great alchemist in my Zhufeng Kingdom. His skills in recovery are superb. If he is also unable to do anything, I'm afraid the disciples of Tianheng Peak will be in danger."

"Is this something done by a demon cultivator?" Mo Shaoyan said softly.

Liu Qianmo nodded slightly, "...Maybe."

"...This demon cultivator is quite skilled. He can make more than 70 people insane in an instant. It's unknown whether they will live or die in the future."

"Yes, unless they are born with this ability, the demon cultivator who can easily control the minds of dozens of people must have practiced for hundreds or thousands of years. No matter which one it is, it is extremely terrifying."

"So, the incident in Shuiyue Palace that year was also done by a demon cultivator?"

"...It's hard to say."

Peng Shao sighed with emotion: "...I always feel that something big is going to happen. First it was Shuiyue Palace, and now it's my Qingxu Sword Sect. The devil is rampant, and the world will be in chaos."

He Ling said lightly: "This devil cultivator is not like Mu Zhiqiu of the past. It will be a disaster if you meet him." Mo

Shaoyan said: "It's a blessing, not a curse. If it's a curse, you can't avoid it

." Jun Yanzhi whispered: "Even if it is a devil cultivator, it doesn't have to hurt my Huishi Peak."

Liu Qianmo frowned slightly: "When possessed by the devil, which devil cultivator can control it? I have read a lot of classics. In history, when the devil cultivators massacred the continent, there was no living thing within a thousand miles. It was really out of control."

Everyone was silent, shrouded in a depressing and dull atmosphere.

Gu Jinping asked, "When can we go back?"

Liu Qianmo looked up and said, "Sect Master Xi is checking Xunyang Mountain. After checking everything, we can go back."

Everyone stayed in Qingxu Hall for half the night. Finally, a message came from the back hall: "Disciples, go back to your respective peaks to rest. If there are any suspicious people, report to the Sect Master immediately at Yurong Peak."

"Yes." The disciples answered in unison.

Liu Qianmo led the disciples back to Huishi Peak and told everyone not to be nosy, not to go out, and to concentrate on cultivation. After a pause, he said to Wen Jing meaningfully, "Your Senior Brother Jun is tired. Let him have a good rest tonight."

Wen Jing blushed and nodded awkwardly.

Jun Yanzhi bowed his head and said nothing.

After everyone left, Jun Yanzhi whispered, "Can you sleep in my room tonight?"

Wen Jing quickly shook his head: "Senior Brother Jun, you should have a good rest tonight, I won't bother you."

"...You don't bother me..." His tone was a little sour.

"...Forget it. I'll visit you tomorrow. Don't think too much tonight, just take care of your body."

"Okay..."

Jun Yanzhi walked away slowly, Wen Jing returned to the room, only to see Dagui squatting on the bed, staring blankly.

Wen Jing gently touched its head: "Everything is about to begin..."

"Zhao Ningtian was in a state of confusion, his eyes were red, and he only knew how to fight. Although the more than 20 disciples of Tianheng Peak were in a better condition, they were still unconscious until the day when Lu Zhishan of the Ancient Mirror Sect arrived."
